System: Master Your Life-Chapter 536 - 128 Shang Wanjun Hosts a Banquet_3

"Have you eaten yet?"

Shang Wanjun asked him.

"Not yet."

"I feel like eating out, want to join? My treat."

"Then I humbly accept your invitation."

A beautiful woman inviting him, of course Xu Lin had to go, he would definitely attend no matter what.

"Alright, give me a moment to get ready."

Shang Wanjun began gathering her things, putting the important items into her bag, then she stood up.

"All set!"

Shang Wanjun looked stunning standing up, her high heels were six centimeters high, not too tall or too short, they looked perfect. High heels, if too high, can indeed look unattractive.

Shang Wanjun was 1.73 meters tall, and today she had her hair up, adding another four or five centimeters in height, so when she stood up, she was over 1.8 meters, visually very tall, and the qipao made her figure even more exquisite.

Moreover, everyone who’s seen a beauty in a qipao knows that qipaos, like black stockings, have an incredibly enchanting allure.

A qipao can showcase a woman’s figure beautifully, even someone whose shape isn’t that great can gain an aesthetic boost by a few points just by wearing one.

A qipao is indeed a magical piece of clothing.

When Shang Wanjun walked in a qipao, her hips swayed naturally with a graceful rhythm that was hard to describe.

Xu Lin thought, the qipao really suited her well.

"I’m curious, looking this good, have you had a lot of people chasing you lately?"

"Every day, I attract a lot of attention, but I can’t just dress like a mess, right? I like dressing up nicely."

Shang Wanjun had an attitude of doing her own thing, indifferent to how others perceived her, she just wanted to be herself!

But then she added with a bit of exasperation, "I’m about to turn 24, and my mom says I need to find someone. She’s even introduced several suitors for me, which I don’t want to meet, but she’s sulking, so I had to go anyway. I made it clear to these men that I’m not interested. The first few were fine, they backed off, but there was one overseas PhD who wouldn’t give up for days."

Shang Wanjun looked a bit exhausted.

"An overseas PhD?"

"A medical doctor who graduated from the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, recruited as a talent, working at XX Hospital in Jiangdu."

Shang Wanjun: "Thirty-one, quite tall and handsome, by all accounts, an excellent match."

Xu Lin: "That really is an impressive profile."

A PhD from the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich is indeed prestigious, earned through ability, not just an inflated title.

Also, the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich is a world-renowned institution.

Studying in Germany is notoriously tough to graduate from, with many breaking down over it, yet at thirty-one, he was already back, such accomplishments mean top hospitals here probably vie for talents like him.

Moreover, at just thirty-one, he’s in his prime and has a boundless future.

So, this man’s qualities are undeniably stellar.

"I don’t like him."

Shang Wanjun shook her head, "Besides, I don’t have any intention of dating or getting married. People aren’t necessarily obliged to date or marry. Life should hold infinite possibilities, not necessarily following traditional paths, like completing a set of tasks, I find it uninteresting."

"As you said, Teacher, follow your heart. A person, as you mentioned, has limitless possibilities. Just because most people do things a certain way doesn’t mean we have to follow suit. Step east or west, and your life’s path might vary greatly." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Fleeting as a mayfly in this world, a speck in the vast ocean, lamenting life’s brevity, longing for the endless flow of the Yangtze... How insignificantly small us humans are in the universe, and isn’t living to ninety already an achievement? Yet, compared to the long river of time, it’s so brief. When Su Shi wrote the ’Preface to the Red Cliff Ode,’ nearly a thousand years have passed, and for future generations, it’s just a few seconds turning a page in history."

Shang Wanjun said, "So I shouldn’t waste my limited life on matters of love, marriage, and kids!"

Xu Lin: "Confucius said: ’Follow your heart’s desires,’ Teacher, just follow your heart."

Shang Wanjun nodded, staying silent, she felt Xu Lin truly understood her.

Meanwhile, Xu Lin was bringing out the electric bike.

When Xu Lin rode over to her, Shang Wanjun sat sideways on the bike.

Wearing a qipao, she couldn’t sit with her legs apart, so sideways was the only option.

"Ready? I’m about to start the bike."

"Ready."

Shang Wanjun placed one hand on Xu Lin’s shoulder for support.

Soon, Xu Lin was driving the bike out of the school and picked up speed.

This time, the place they were heading for dinner was a restaurant serving Jiangnan cuisine, styled like an ancient tavern in movies.

On the way, they chatted while feeling the wind in their hair.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at their destination.
